Yes I have it all (Norton 2003). It isn't that it hasn't caught it. It is
the trouble of it being quarantined all the time, then having to go through
the process of running the bugbear tool and submitting it to Norton and
then the quarantine item does go away. You know, a person still wonders why
so many of them are coming in, which means it is a distraction. It is just
a continual pain. I am trying to figure out why so many are coming in to me
(in the last week).

Sandi, I did read your previous email thoroughly, there wasn't a need to
repeat, this is an addendum to that. I obviously didn't put the question
properly. It seemed to make sense to me but not to anyone else I guess.

It isn't the same question. As I mentioned, two more this morning came in.
I just want to know why I have to go through this all the time. Does
everybody get that many. I doubt it, so I figure there must be a reason.
That is why I asked about "sharing" and gnucleus and the password to the
computer if I didn't have to. I guess I can go over to Expert Exchange but
I would rather get the answer from here if possible.
